Hello Stella! (Stella is a greek name). Well, i would like to practice about the exceptions of the masculine and feminine nouns, for example: il problema. Thank you!
@@meniser5682 Ok Meni, I'll add it to my list! Buona giornata :)
Miss Stella sei la mia insegnante. Sono tuo amico?
Very good and I am really proud of you and you are the best teacher, that I seen in my life
Ciao Stella , I am new to your channel. Don't know if you have done articles ..if not . I would love to see that .. plus I have just watched your reflexive verbs vid. But not how to conjugate them ! That please.
You are a very good teacher and your English is excellent. I plan on watching more of your videos and I will let you know if you make any mistakes with your English. I doubt you will make any mistakes. 😊
This was so helpful! Knowing what nouns are considered masculine or feminine is probably the hardest for English speakers who've never had to make that differentiation. Once we master that, your lesson makes it very easy to know how to use possessive adjectives in Iltalian. Grazie!!!
2:49, certainly helpful for native English speakers that we have that same concept.
This was one of the best explanations I’ve ever heard thank you so much!!
I've been studying italiano for a while, and this lesson really helped
Glad it did, Richard!
I like your all videos
Dear teacher Valentina, the way you teach Italian is wonderful and things look easy. Thank you so much. I have a request to you. Kindly make a video about preposition like at the, to the, in the, on the, and so on. Thank you. Sincerely, Peter from Pakistan
Thank you, Valentina. You help me deconstruct my brain from Spanish, which is my mother language. You are a fantastic teacher!
Buogiorno madam Valentina. You are a good teacher especially how you pronounce the Italian words.

More on possessive adjectives
So clear
Once again you manage to solve the apparent mystery of Italian possessive adjectives like no other teacher or book has ever done for me in the past. You truly do simplify grammar rules to the point where a learner can appreciate that they are not either as intricate or complicated as they may seem at first 😊
I'm really glad my approach to grammar is helpful to you, Manthos. And that's exactly what I strive for!
Good i learnt many words and sentences
Love your videos, they are so easy to understand. Thank you.
Valentina, è sorprendente come dimentichiamo le regole di base di questi aggettivi. Grazie per un video chiaro e mirato.

Thank you James, your support is really appreciated!
Oh my goodness this helped soooo much thank you!!
I'm glad it did! Adjectives are one of the hardest points of Italian grammar, and possessive adjectives even more so since they work so differently than in English. Let me know if you'd like more videos on this topic!
@@ItalianTeacherValentina I do have a question though. If we were to say “questo è il nostro cane”. And if you wanted to clarify if it’s female, would you be able to say “la nostra cane”?
@@Bramz26. Una buona domanda! You could say "la nostra cagna", as "cagna" is techically the noun for "female dog". But "cagna" is not very much used as it can also be an offensive or bad word (when used for humans". So we usually say "il cane" for both female and male dogs, and then we specify "è una femmina" (it's a female) or "è un maschio" (it's a male) if needed.
Good
Grazie Mille
❤
Graziy
Greetings to you from Pakistan! My name is Dilawar Masih and I have started learning Italian and the way you reach Italian is so impressive and helpful to me.

Grazie mille.
Yes please

Good evening madam.

@@ItalianTeacherValentina Sei una stella ⭐️ grazie mille
Molto bene Amiga chao
This was a good one! I know that I need a video about how to pick the right article to form the sentence, but I definitely understand how to form the sentence based on the gender of the noun! :) but..... the shoes phrase is confusing!
So I just watched the video again, and I’m also confused on what article you used to create “ mio gatto” so if I put an article in front of mio, what I’m I literally saying? 🤔
Molto bene, Samantha! Don't worry about the shoes sentence, it takes a bit to sink since it's so different from English. As for the article, what we literally say is "the my cat". I know it sounds weird in English, but that's what we are literally saying! :D
I would love to know more about using possesive adjectives for family members. I am really enjoying your lessons and learning more from you then the zoom class I am paying for. Do you do individual lessons?
I'm glad you are finding them helpful, Dawn!

I want to learn more about using reflexive verbs in Italian
Here's my dedicated video: th-cam.com/video/uJgKQ8-k13s/w-d-xo.html
So if I wanna say "their shoes" I say " loro scarpe" ? I love your videos, ciao dal brasile. 🇧🇷
Benvenuta! No, for every other case except the one that I explain in the video you need to use the article, so it's "Le loro scarpe"
Your a great teacher thanks Ms Valentina

ECCO qui Grazie Dolce Donna VALENTINA STELLA... Giorno Sabato... settimana Quattordici...Della Settle.. Session Nove. ..Otto Aprile Due Mille venti tre..God bless you.. Waheguru Ji
Great video on possessive adjectives, Stella. You make Italian language look very easy to learn but... Now I need clarity here please, why "mamma mia, and not "mia mamma"? Two why at times see "la casa mia" instead of "la mia casa"? Now, "tocca a te". Mille grazie.
Ahah! Ok, è il mio turno! :D 1) "Mia mamma" is used when you want to say "my mother". "Mamma mia" is an expression, similar to "Oh my God". 2) Usually, when we put the possessive adjective after the noun, is to give it more emphasis, to make a point, like for example when you are quarreling with someone and you want to really make a point that it is YOUR house, not theirs. Hope this helps!
Great explanation and you're a star as your name suggests! Buona giornata.
@@richfratello8181 :) Grazie Rich, I'm glad it helped!
I need this please
Salve Valentina, I have just started to learn Italian and I love your videos! I am also listening to an audio book, were I just finished the possessive adjective session. When practicing, one combination got me a bit confused, and I hope you can help me. I was asked to translate "my car" using the word "auto" in Italian. Thinking "auto" was a masculine noun, I translated the sentence to "l' mio auto" but I see that my use of the article l' is wrong in this sentence.When given the answer it was "la mia auto". And if I am guessing, the article changed to la, because we can't use l'. But is it correct that the possesive adjective changes to feminine as well? Are there specific rules for possesive adjective when the noun start with a vowel? (My first language is Norwegian, so I apologise for any misspelling or other errors).
Ciao Elisabeth! Yours is a great question. First of all, the exercise was a tricky one, since auto, despite ending in "o" is a feminine noun. Why? Because is the abbreviation of "automobile", which is the complete word for car, and is feminine. So the article needed to be feminine because the noun is feminine. As for the article l', it can be used with both masculine and feminine nouns, but they need to start with a vowel. So if you just needed to say "the car", "l'automobile" would be correct. But since you are adding "my" and so the word next to the article begins with a consonant ("mia") you need to swich to "la".
Hope this helps!

@@ItalianTeacherValentina Grazie mille! It makes so much sense. Your explanation is very good. I will definitely check out your session on articals. Thank you 😊
Pls I want to know more about how to use the articles
I have a one-hour class on articles: www.valentinastellatutor.com/register/live-class-with-valentina-stella-12march22/
It would be complete if you added the articles with them as they could be difficult and can't be ignored

Hi Valentina, these lessons sre so helpful. Can I just ask, when it comes to gender, do you have one for someone who is non-binary?
Grazie mille, Rebecca! I'm glad you are finding them helpful. No, in the Italian grammar we only have two genders, we don't have another one (eg. a neutral one as in Latin).
Please can you give how to say money in Italy
How can I get a privet lessons on zoom with you?
Ciao Valentina, mi piace il tuo canale molto.
Nel tuo video, hai detto "la mia casa" ho pensato che piu ragione con casa "la casa mia". Boh?. Grazie mille.
Sono contenta che ti piaccia il mio canale, Paul!
è vero che gli aggettivi normalmente vanno dopo il sostantivo in italiano (es. "una casa grande") ma ci sono delle eccezioni.
Una di queste è per gli aggettivi possessivi, che vanno PRIMA del sostantivo. Ecco perché "la MIA casa" è corretto.

Have you watched this other one? 😉 th-cam.com/video/s1M7IQRcP3s/w-d-xo.html
How to form italian sentences. Is there any pattern or rules to follow. My mistake always is on correct placement of words in a sentence. In Your tutorial video on possessives I knew now but how about this sentence, Ho un' impress Internet. Why impress goes before internet. When in English sentence construction it is I have Internet business. The internet goes before business. I thought the same placement is accepted in italian. If to follow the English into italian, it is Ho un' internet impresa but not accepted. My difficulty in any Italian sentence formation which is confusing to me.
I have a question, can you explain why an article is needed in Italian when in English it is not. For example in "la mia casa". But in English you would just have "my house" without the article. It would really be helpful to get a clear explanation on this. "Grazie mille".
As I was saying in my reply to your other comment, the general rule is that we do use the article all the time, even with possessive adjectives. So we just say "the my house" literally. It's just a difference between the two languages. There are some exceptions, one of which has to specifically do with possessive adjectives and I talk about it (with examples) here: th-cam.com/video/s1M7IQRcP3s/w-d-xo.html
Hope this helps!
Since gender specific, would it make sense to sort by gender?
Mi dispiace, Randal, but I don't understand what you mean. Can you give me an example?
